I am wondering if this young lady can be trained to become an aeronautical engineer and put in charge of an ambitious Nigerian MRO programme

Ayo Akinfe

[1] If Nigeria was a country that had any shame, we would be eternally embarrassed about the fact that we do not have a single aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility. This is totally unacceptable for Africa’s largest economy and is 100 more important than the Ibom Air eviction drama

In addition, Apapa does not have the rail links to connect it to the rest of the country, which has resulted in the area becoming one of the most polluted ghettos on the planet.
